From June 3rd to June 12th, the Twins will be playing 9 games against the Blue Jays, Rays, and Yankees with only one off day. The Twins haven’t had the toughest of schedules, so these 9 games will be a true test to this team.

How many of these games do you think the Twins will win? Vote and share your opinion below!

Count me in with the ones that said 3-4 wins but probably should have been 2 or less.  Baldelli will let too many regulars sit like yesterday.  He has no in game management skills, doesn't know how to adjust or use common sense.  He will continue to cost us some wins as well.  It's time to reboot Rocco's computer.  If that doesn't work then he needs to be booted.

Baseball is unique because the only "matchup" that counts is pitcher v hitter. For the most part Twins can't hit their way out of a wet paper bag. The lineups are so unpredictable with the Twins that the question really is unanswerable. If it was the Twins A lineup actually performing at or near expectation the "matchups" would be very competitive. However chances are that won't happen. I just hope they avoid getting swept. Main thing is beat the Tigers this afternoon. This obsession with the out of division games is perplexing since they are now having problems with the Royals and Tigers.

I actually waivered on that for a while and am now thinking I should change it to 1-2

 I'm an unrealistic homer, so I went with 3-4.

Yeah, 2-3 would be my choice so I'm refraining. Feels like there will certainly be at least one sweep.

It's kinda funny how those that voted for 3 to 4 seem to all be wavering on that prediction.  That includes myself.

Not a good state of the fanbase.

Between injuries and Covid, we are missing too many pieces. And we need to do much better in the run department. And when yet another person goes out for whatever reason, we have to shuffle again. We have too many games when we aren’t scoring. The east coast teams were always going to be tough with everyone there, but with half our team being AAA we are going to get creamed. It’s going to be a tough time.

Oh, I get it.  I'm in that group too.  Even as I actually voted I felt that if they get a pair of wins out of that stretch they'd be lucky but took an optimistic route instead.  

I just thought it was amusing that basically everyone in that 3-4 win camp was voting that way hesitantly and openly admitting it.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?

Solid approach!  I like it!

Give it a try sometime. In the meantime, enjoy manifesting that the sky is falling. Hopefully they lose every game in June so people can say I told you so. How fun is that!

Come on now.  At least in my case, expecting poor results from a depleted roster against some very good AL East teams isn't saying the sky is falling.  

I still expect this team to finish above .500.  Maybe not get to 90 wins, but close to it.  Does that make it better?
